But here’s the good news: connection is powerful—and it’s never too late to build the friendships that protect your brain, boost your mood, and enrich your life. In this interactive and uplifting session, you’ll explore: * Why social connection is one of the best things you can do for your brain health * How to confidently meet new people, even if you’re starting fresh * Why so many adults feel disconnected—and how to change that * A look at **Vermut**, the first social app designed *with and for* adults 55+ to help you meet people near you, based on shared interests and activities Whether you’re looking for more conversation, more community, or just more fun—you’ll leave with new ideas, renewed energy, and even a few new friends.
